Not an elite fragrance, but still a nice wear. Usually, it’ll be under 10 and those last few aren’t really that strong. Profumo will stick around for over 8 hours on my skin. Profumo takes this category, as it was designed to do. It’s better than the original AdG, in terms of strength, as well as Profondo Lights, but doesn’t hit that same Profumo level. Again, this one also hangs around nicely but it won’t be an in your face experience. Profondo is an EDP and the lighter sillage of the two. As a parfum, it has the higher fragrance concentration. It starts of pretty strong, but is much more moderate past the first few hours. However, I would lean more towards Profumo, since it has more originality than does Profondo. Which fragrance is better? Eh, it’s a close call. It will get smoother and a bit creamier, as it wears on. They wanted to design it to be like diving to the depths and it does have that refreshing quality…but not a salty ocean scent. Profondo has the impression of water and less of an oceanic feeling.

The main difference is that Profondo is more marine, with less of a salty quality, and a resinous aroma from the lentisk. The bergamot note takes the lead and is flanked by a slight mandarin orange note. Meanwhile, Profondo starts off quite a bit like the original Acqua di Gio. You’ll get plenty of the original AdG DNA, but it is much more distinct from that than is Profondo. Profumo is going to develop with this smoky, herbal, and mineral smelling aroma as it develops. Also, featuring a incense note that adds a smoky layer to it, as well as a very nice sage. It is darker and has a mysterious quality to it. The opening act of Profumo is laden with bergamot and the salty marine notes.
